survey surprise

A few weeks back, I sent out a survey to my list and community.

The goal was simple:

Figure out which workshop to create next.

I suggested three different topics:

1) Ideation (how to come up with story ideas fast)

2) Thank You Page offers (how to monetize immediately after someone subscribes)

3) Ad copy (how to write ads that convert cold traffic)

Now, if you'd asked me to predict the results...

I would've bet money that ad copy or TYP offers would dominate.

But you know what actually won?

Ideation.

With the general list, it wasn't even close.

And with community members, it came in a strong second.

Which came as a pretty big surprise, tbh.

So I decided to run with it first since I knew it would also be the easiest for me to crank out.

(Plus, the people had spoken!)

Anyway, moral of the story is:

You are not your audience.

What seems obvious or valuable to you might not be what your audience actually needs right now.

It pays to ask people what they want because the answer may surprise you.

Most creators make assumptions about what their audience wants instead of just asking them.

They spend weeks creating something...

Only to launch it to crickets.

This is one of the biggest benefits of writing daily story-driven emails:

You're constantly building a responsive relationship with your audience.

Getting real-time feedback on what resonates.

Learning what they ACTUALLY care about…

… not what you *think* they should care about.

Inside the Newsletter Freedom Community, that's exactly what you learn how to do.

Plus, members get access to workshops just like Insane Ideation that are literally built based on what they asked for.

Speaking of which:

Right now, you can join the community for a 7-day trial…

All for the princely sum of just 7 dollars.

But friendly reminder:

The doors to the community are closing Sunday at midnight.

Which means you’ve got less than 72 hours left to sign up.

If you decide to stick around after your trial ends, it's just 97 bucks a month after that.

No long-term commitments.

Cancel anytime.

So if you want to join a community where your feedback actually shapes what gets created...

P.S:

For the past few months, I’ve been quietly working to build my very own Email Storyselling AI tool.

It’s trained on all of my proven frameworks and systems.

And I’ve just opened the doors to a handful of community members for beta testing.

Right now, I’ve only made the Email Storyselling Bot available.

You can see a demo of how it works here.

But eventually, you’ll be able to use the tool to write ads, emails, content, and lots more.

Best part is:

Once it’s out of beta testing, all community members will get access to it for free.

Yet another cherry on top for joining us inside.

So if you like what you see…

I’d strongly recommend signing for a 7-day trial ;)
